The investigation into
the criminal case against the student of the European Humanities University
Mikalai Dziadok was extended for six months, and the term of his keeping in
custody – for five months. So far Mikalai Dziadok has been given charges under
Article 339, part 2 – ‘hooligan actions conducted by a group of individuals’.

Mikalai Dziadok holds on. In his latest letter from the pre-trial prison he
writes: ‘The investigation didn’t succeed in playing on my initial bewilderment
and embarrassment, and now they are trying to nag me holding me in prison for
months and hoping that I would surrender and start doing anything they would
tell me.’
